Project Based Learning 101

1.     It is the process of transforming teaching from “teachers telling” to “students doing”.

2.     Behind the exercise/lesson/concept being taught is an element of student design (ownership/personal input) followed by an element of student reflection (what was learned during the educational experience).

Significant Learning Experiences:  Is a strategy that recognizes that learning should tap into a student’s inherent drive to learn, capability to do the work and the need to be taken seriously.

Identifying Learning Experiences:  Learning events in which curricular outcomes can be identified upfront, but the outcomes of the student’s learning process are neither predetermined nor fully predictable.

Engaging Learning Experiences:  Involve students in complex, real-world projects through which they develop and apply skills and knowledge.

Cross Curricular Learning Experiences:  Requires students to draw from information sources and disciplines in order to solve problems.  Students learn to manage and allocate various resources (time and materials)
